Speeding through North Shore traffic court on the horizon

A new traffic court in St. Tammany Parish will be launched on July 5 in a move designed to fast track cases that do not require a trial. Judge William H. Burris of the 22nd Judicial District will preside over the traffic court.

The new traffic court “is only possible with the help and participation of District Attorney Warren Montgomery‘s Office, St. Tammany Clerk of Court’s Office and the St. Tammany Parish Sheriff’s Office,” according to a news release from the court administrator’s office.
